Powderfinger - Bless My Soul (One Night Lonely)

Powderfinger performing ‘Bless My Soul' live for One Night Lonely in 2020.

After a decade long hiatus, iconic Australian band Powderfinger tuned up and gave a little happiness to fans during these challenging days.

The title signifies the one off nature of this event and points towards the very important charities the band are supporting, Beyond Blue and Support Act. With a nation-wide viewership, Powderfinger raised over $500,000 for these two charities.

With millions of album sales in Australia alone, Powderfinger continue to captivate millions of listeners every month across streaming services and radio.

In April 2010 Powderfinger announced they were calling it a day. The band embarked on their Sunsets Farewell Tour, playing to over 300,000 people along the way, and on 13 November 2010 they played their last gig, until now…

One Night Lonely presented by Secret Sounds, Universal Music Australia, YouTube and supports Beyond Blue and Support Act.

Bless My Soul Lyrics:

Push me right over
And hold me down under the waves
If I'm out breath maybe
I'll recognise my mistakes
'Cause nothing I've done, yeah
Is worthy of showing to you
It's just meaningless bullshit
And promises all there to you, alright
All I need
Is somewhere
To begin
Somebody gotta let me in
Well colour me with red and gold
Your sweet love blessed my soul
Well colour me with red and gold
And bless my soul
Well I left the thunder
And rain of my past all behind
When I'm looking back there's
A shadow that falls over my time
'Cause nobody knows just
What happened to me there in Spain
Life has took me right over
Left me to be ever changed
Well I need
Somewhere
To begin
Somebody gotta let me in
Colour me with red and gold
Your sweet love blessed my soul
Colour me with red and gold
And bless my soul
Hands up, everybody
Won't you come back and bless my soul?
Oh come back and bless my soul
Well come back and bless my soul (come back and bless my soul)
With your sweet love (oh won't you come)
And bless my soul
Oh, tell you nobody knows what happened to me this day
That place took me right around, left me to be with a chase
Well come back and bless, bless my soul
Oh come back and bless, bless my soul
Oh come back, come back, come back
Come back, come back, come back
Nobody knows, nobody knows
